Kettlebells

The right starting weight depends on the movements you plan to train. Swings and deadlifts recruit the whole body, so most people can start heavier than they expect — while presses, snatches and Turkish get-ups reward a lighter, more controllable bell. As a rough guide, newcomers often begin around 8kg–12kg for overhead work and 12kg–16kg for swings, moving up as technique improves.

Our single cast iron kettlebells run from 4kg all the way to 40kg, starting at just £8.99 per bell, so you can pick the exact weight that matches your current strength — and simply add the next size up when you outgrow it.

A kettlebell's offset centre of gravity is what makes it such an effective training tool: every swing, clean and carry forces your grip, core and posterior chain to work together. Cast iron construction keeps that experience consistent — each bell is cast for durability, with a comfortable handle that stays secure during high-rep flows and sweaty conditioning sessions.

Because one bell covers strength, power and cardiovascular work in a single compact piece of kit, kettlebells are ideal where space is tight. A couple of well-chosen weights can do the job of far bulkier equipment in a spare room or garage gym, and they pair neatly with rubber gym flooring to protect the surface underneath.

If you are just starting out, a single bell is all you need — master the fundamentals, then buy the next weight up as you progress. Buying one at a time keeps the cost low and means every kettlebell you own actually gets used.

Coaching a group, or building a gym for more than one person? The single kettlebell page lets you add several weights to your basket in one go, so you can put together the full range a group needs in a single order.

Kettlebells left on the floor become trip hazards and take chips out of hard surfaces. A dedicated rack keeps them off the ground, easy to see and quick to grab mid-session.

Our kettlebell racks come in two widths — a 111cm 3-tier rack at £140 for tighter spaces and a 153cm 3-tier rack at £179.99 where you have room to spread out. See our delivery information page for shipping details on larger items.
